FDA-Approved White’s Premium Vitamins and Supplements
Co-Enzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) is an important rate limiting cofactor in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, the biochemical pathway in cellular respiration from which adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the form of energy used by the body, is derived. Since cellular activities are dependent upon energy, co-enzyme Q10 is crucial for the efficient functioning of nearly every cell. In addition to its well-established function as a component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, co-enzyme Q10 has in recent years acquired increasing attention regarding its antioxidant properties. Co-Enzyme Q10 occurs in all cellular membranes as well as in blood serum and in serum lipoproteins. As a lipid-soluble antioxidant, coenzyme Q10 efficiently protects membrane phospholipids and serum low-density lipoproteins from lipid peroxidation. And, as recent data indicate, it also protects mitochondrial membrane proteins and DNA from free radical induced oxidative damage.
Gut Restorative PRP is an all-natural supplement comprised of bovine colostrum for supporting a healthy immune system. Bovine colostrum is an abundant source of immunoglobulins, as well as live cells that secrete key proteins including cytokines, lactoferrin, and proline-rich polypeptides (PRP). Supplementing with bovine colostrum has been shown to bolster the lining of the gastrointestinal tract and fight inflammation.

Many individuals with elevated cholesterol have been able to improve their cardiovascular health with the aid of nutritional supplements. One of the nutraceuticals that has been shown in research studies to support normal LDL and total cholesterol levels is red yeast rice. Red yeast rice is the product of yeast (Monascus purpureus) grown on rice and contains several compounds that are collectively known as monacolins which support the mechanisms that can lead to improved cardiovascular health. Each capsule contains 600 mg of organic red yeast rice grown in the U.S. and manufactured to avoid the presence of citrinin; a toxin that can be produced during the fermentation process.
This formula provides the healthy oils (“good fats”) scientifically proven to be nutritious to our body as opposed to harmful fats so common in our diet. Omega Max contains a unique combination of omega-3, omega-6, and omega- 9 fatty acids derived from cold-pressed borage, organic flax seed, and deep sea fish oils. Included are gamma linolenic acid (GLA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), two essential fatty acids the body cannot produce—they must be obtained from the diet. These two very important essential nutrients help insure production of beneficial prostaglandins, vital for overall health. This is a core nutritional supplement for all patients, especially those concerned about cardiovascular, immune and anti-inflammatory function.
Phosphatidyl Serine Complex softgels contain 500mg of plant-derived (soy bean) phospholipids supplying 100mg of phosphatidyl serine (PS). Phosphatidyl serine is an important brain nutrient and has been shown to be effective in encouraging relaxation and sleep.
Potassium is a mineral with fundamentally important physiological functions in the body. However, typical diets in the U.S. and other industrialized countries often provide less than adequate amounts of potassium. Potassium is of great physiological importance, contributing to the transmission of nerve impulses, the control of skeletal muscle contractility, and to the healthy maintenance of already normal blood pressure. Potassium is generally well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, and the kidneys regulate total body potassium by controlling urinary potassium excretion.
